While we were building the first variation of the Bob Jane Monza (think Channel 10 look !),which 'was' a Dekon frame/chassie, not number, as it was built as a 'spare' for an American Racer, Brad Frazzel (Spelling may be incorrect!) whom had ambitions to race at Le Mans,which he did in a Monza

John Pollard whom had previously purchased the Ex 'Castrol' Camaro/Frank Gardner, raced in the Uk/Europe/New Zealand/Australia.... (White with Red nose/picture in Bay Park Thread!)..From Bob Jane, who had had it stashed in a Warehouse behind the 'Gray St' race shop, was hanging out at our 'race shop' ,snopping around the Monza Concept as he had had John Sheperd ( HDT fame!) totally re build the 67/68 Camaro into a 'Sports Sedan,stunning looking Camaro,Red with 'Motion Performance' style, white side Flash and bum.....but these cars were just about out of date to the Monza/Corvair thinking

So!!...I subjested that my friend in NZ,Art Mckee was considering selling his Bud King Monza....."Bullshit!!...."Why would I tell you if he Wasn't"!!!!..Now I'm in striff at to levels..Level one,Pat Purcell is dark on me as the Mckee Monza is Finished..."why did you have to tell him that"!!!!!........2nd Level,John wants to do it NOW!!!.."Lets get on a Plane"!!........."Nahhhh!! I'll just ring Art and give you an intro,thats how us 'Kiwi's do business"!!!......Phone call to the 'unflappable' Art..John's on an Air new Zealand Flight,Job's done!!...come to think of it, Ive never taken Art up on that 'steak dinner' with lots 'Burbon' mouth wash, if the deal went thru....Plenty of time!!

That Monza is now in a Million Pieces ('could be For Sale'??) in the Hands a Rowan Harmon,a very imformative person re the history of Sports Sedans/Oz Nascar/The Sport in General, Will insist that he joins THE ROARING SEASONS forum,you will like this guy!

Now where was I..?.....Oh!!,The Blue Mustang#37..Driver/owner,Graeme Whincup (Triple8/Jamie's Uncle!) that was a genuine 'Shelby.R coded car,the guy sitting in the Door way is the 'famous',Mick Webb ('Spiderman/Mechanic for Moffat, Falcons/RX7 years!)...the guy with the 'Fashionable Flares Is "Dazzling',Darryl Sydall,whom imported American cars in to Australia,the70's,was responsible for obtaining the Mustang for Graeme...(this car went best when it was powered by a Chev!!!)...many years later it was rescued from a 'scrap/wrecking yard QLD,as a gutted out Shell and is now fully restored...I believe,now stationed in the lovely Tasmania..'The Apple Isle'............that will do for now,the 'brain' is about to shut down!!..........regards thunder427/MJ.
